How Guns in the Right Hands Works

My family and I were just discussing this phenomenon last night: put firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens and see the crime rate reduced.
If people are allowed to carry pistols to defend themselves without fear of unreasonable repercussions, perhaps, or almost certainly, the crime rate will decrease.

"Gary Kleck, PhD., also a gun crime expert, found that the crime deterrence effect of firearms possession is significant: sophisticated statistics suggest three to four crimes are stopped by a handgun than are committed in the United States every year."
